What's to do?

Here is code to delay the execution of a macro for a given number of seconds.

Code:

Private Sub HaveABreak(iSeconds As Integer)
'
 ' Macro pauses running of procedure for given number of seconds
' Astrid Zeeland

 '
Dim lPauseTime As Long
Dim lStart As Long
  lPauseTime = iSeconds
  lStart = Timer 'get current time
  Do While Timer < lStart + lPauseTime
    DoEvents
  Loop
End Sub

Put this into the same module that would hold the AutoExec.

You would call it with HaveABreak (i) where i is the number of seconds you need to wait. Try it with 1. Insert the following into the AutoExec macro before the Show command:

HaveABreak(1)
